Brace Yourself For The Most Insane Blackhead Removal Video Yet

Another day, another zit-popping video. Seriously, search all things pimple- and pore-related on YouTube, and you’ll see more zit-squeezing and blackhead-removing than you ever needed to see.

Now, there’s a recently-discovered video shared on Reddit that’s captivating the world. And, while it’s definitely gross, it’s also bizarrely fascinating. The video features an up-close and personal look at pore strips at work.

The clip from user KeanaTankentai is almost five minutes long, and you can actually see big, nasty blackheads—which look like worms in this über close-up—being slooowly yanked out of someone’s pores. The strip is used repeatedly until the person is left with unclogged pores.

But this also gets seriously cinematic: The video shows the process from different angles so you can see everything. Seriously, everything. More than 1.8 million people have watched it so far, so you know it’s good.

It’s pretty nasty, so you probably want to avoid any food immediately before, during, or after viewing, but…check it out:

And if you’ve finished the video and are still feeling unsatisfied, never fear: KeanaTankentai’s page seems to specialise in blackhead removal videos (including whole playlists devoted to pore strip videos like this one). Guess your weekend plans are set? Just remember: While these kinds of videos are wildly entertaining / horrifying / stomach-churning, there are certain kinds of blemishes that should be left alone.
